Anyone have experience using ADAT to extend their Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 (or similar devices)?

I can buy a used Focusrite Saffire PRO 40 for about 60Euro and wanted to use it to extend my Scarlett 18i20 to get a total of 16 Mic inputs, but I don’t have any experience with ADAT and would prefer not to buy something that’ll turn out to be a 60Euro brick.

    Yes, the Scarlett will just sync itself to the external adat signal. It’s the only option anyway because the Scarlett lacks clock inputs and has no adat output the external device could sync to.
